Whether youre brand new to Crossfit or have been doing it for years... YOU NEED TO COME CHECK THIS PLACE OUT! I have been here about two months now. I have always been in the weight room, keeping in check, but decided to give Crossfit a go. Figured it would be a good change up to the routine. I honestly say that this box has me ADDICTED. I still hit the weight room throughout the week, but the workouts you will do here are intense and can be scaled to any level person. If you have never picked up a weight or done a pull-up, rest assured the coaches here will scale you up to par at your own pace. ALL of the coaches here are awesome and extremely knowledgable. They will push and motivate you while making sure you are keeping correct technique to push your fitness journey.I started with the fundamentals class with my gf, since she really hasn't done anything like this before..for one.. shes addicted.. Our coach, Jae, was amazing in teaching us the culture of crossfit and correct technique in all of the movements and lifts. Working out with the pack and the all of the coaches at RedWolf is such a great experience! Everyone is welcome and they make sure to make it feel that way. Dont wait, COME IN and expand your Fitness Journey!!

I have been a member at Red Wolf for about 14 months and many things have changed, however my opinion has not.When I first started it was a fantastic box where the coaches would push their members and help them enhance their abilities. They had general hourly classes through out the who day.However, as the year went on they kept on adding specialty classes. Olympic weightlifting, endurance classes, weekend technique seminars and now yoga. All at no additional cost to its members.About a month ago they did decide to make a huge change and did raise rates slightly, however the within the month they upgraded their gym with new bars, weights and equipment to what they already had.Shortly after they also offered individual special programming, if you wanted to fine tune and improve your abilities. For me as I use CF as a base to my fitness for my triathlon training I decided to do the individual program.I did speak to other members who started before me and at first they weren't too sure about the programming, however they mentioned after week three they started to see major gains. I soon started and same happened for me. Not only was I PRing at RW, but outside the box, I would PR in my swim times, cycling and running.Theres not really much to question about this box. After RW making it to CF regionals for the first time, the coaches really set the tone and in their own way let everyone know that this is not only a serious gym, but a gym where anyone can improve and strive to be better. You get what you pay for and I'm so glad Ive made the investment that I have. Love this box, its become my home!

I have been attending RedWolf CrossFit for approximately one year. I have trained at CrossFit gyms locally in Huntington Beach and throughout the US. This facility is extremely top shelf. It does not matter what your physical level is, the Trainers will lead you on a new path of physical fitness. The cohesion of the community is excellent. NO DRAMA. The trainers and even tenured members are born leaders. The total knowledge at this facility easily ranks them as a top tier training facility. The Trainers are extremely understanding of schedules, job requirements and injuries when it comes to the members, but in no way do they allow these factors to negatively affect the flow of the classes. From CrossFit competitors to Olympic weightlifting to blue collar workers you can expect to work side by side as athletes. You can not only expect to improve your overall lifestyle but be welcomed with open arms into the family at RedWolf.

I came here after hearing about this place from a friend. After my first workout, I was hooked. The coaches are welcoming and knowledgable. They have been attentive to my form and my improvements and provide great positive encouragement. There is a very strong pack mentality here with the coaches and the other members, which also makes the experience of this box positive. Everyone knows that we are all accountable to go at the workout with our very best, and to leave nothing behind. We encourage others to reach their goals. At the end of every workout, I walk out of there feeling proud of myself as if I had just won something.The gym itself is clean and organized. The equipment is nice and there is plenty of room to get your sweat on. Along with the accountability is that the members help keep their box clean, which really keeps the place sparkling!If you're thinking about getting into CrossFit, or need a new box to join, then come join the Wolf Pack at RedWolf. You will get hooked after your first workout, on the floor, out of breath with a smile and thinking "What the heck just happened?".

Just started RW and honestly I am impressed. I heard about all the horror stories that cross fit has which turned me off but I gave it a shot and this gym is a perfect fit. The coaches are very helpful and motivational. I see a very tight and fun "family" that it has impacted and I am looking forward to becoming apart of it. Highly recommended in my eye. Thanks Red Wolf !

I looked into CrossFit after too many frustrating "workouts" at 24 Hour Fitness (the location near my house was insanely busy, all the time). Before CrossFit I followed a typical bodybuilding workout routine and diet, and I felt like a I had been plateaued for months if not years, but after my very first class at Red Wolf, I knew that was about to change.Walking into a big new gym filled with dozens of impressive athletes can be intimidating, but I was barely in the door at Red Wolf before I was met with warm welcomes. It's like the nicest and fittest people in Orange County put out a Bat signal and met here.The gym is big and clean, the equipment is new and plentiful, and the coaches are so knowledgeable, helpful, supportive, friendly, accommodating, and fun! Working out at Red Wolf has totally changed the way I look at fitness, and I finally broke through that plateau. I've never been fitter, and I have Red Wolf and the whole pack to thank for that!

I came to Red Wolf on a suggestion from a friend who said that not only does Red Wolf have a great competitive program, they have an amazing community. I was not disappointed and am so happy to be here! I have only recently started but the extremely high level of coaching, quality of equipment/facility, positive attitudes and camaraderie between members, and type of athletes they produce has impressed me. If you are looking for a CrossFit home or just visiting the area, you have to come check out Red Wolf!

I have been at Red Wolf for a little over three months now and have nothing but amazing things to say about this crossfit box. I had transitioned to this gym from another great box and had high standards from the beginning. I was shocked at the attention to detail that all of the coaches took pride in, as well as the amount of knowledge they shared with me. I have never felt so confident while working out since I have been at Red Wolf. Adam and Matt do an amazing job of running the gym and are very professional and fun at the same time. Coaches Jae, Luke, Andrew, and Alex have unique skill sets that have allowed me to broaden my range of lifts.The member base at Red Wolf is absolutely phenomenal!!! It truly is a family atmosphere and I feel like people are constantly trying to make each other better through every workout.I love that Matt and Adam listen to their members' feedback and are constantly working to accommodate requests of their members (i.e. class times, scaling workouts) Not to mention, the Olympic lifting classes are awesomeee! Can't wait to hit some PRs. :)))))

I have been going to Red Wolf since May 2013 and have been hooked ever since i completed my first workout!! The coaches are absolutely amazing, they are more than willing to answer/address any concerns or inquiries you may have and care more about form than the weight you put up (don't want to get hurt!). They are also more than willing to work with you more than just in class, if you want to come before or after they are more than willing to work with you. The box is kept very clean and is huge, and all the equipment is state of the art.In their rules they state that everyone must cheer everyone else on, which leaves no one out, and it really makes it a family atmosphere. I highly recommend this box to any new cross fitter, or a cross fitter looking for a new gym!!!

Red Wolf is awesome! I've been doing Crossfit for about 6 months now and scoped out a few different boxes before I joined. After seeing Red Wolf I knew it was the most impressive setup by far. I had zero experience with Crossfit and they started me in the fundamentals classes which taught me the basics. Thanks Luke!For the last 6 months I have been improving everyday. I am encouraged and pushed to get bigger/better/stronger/faster everyday by the coaches and the members. I've enjoyed working out for years and thought I was in great shape until I started Crossfit at Red Wolf. This place will make you better! Also, the best people I've met since moving to the area and happy to call them friends! Drop in and check it out!
